Kroger Kids Cooking Class

Our Krogers occasionally offers kids cooking classes, usually around a holiday.  I took the girls with a couple friends from school the day after classes dismissed for Spring Break.

The first thing they made was grape punch.  Frozen grapes, grape juice and something fizzy.  Yum!

Coming up with a design to decorate

their egg-shaped donuts.

Learning how to make potato pancakes.  Pour in the ingredients.

Then start mixing.  With your hands!

Now everybody together mixing it up!

Then you scoop them.

Then you fry them.

And then you eat them!  Delicious!


Now the sweet part.  An assortment of colored icing to decorate your donuts.

Concentrating.


And the final touches.

Such a fun day with my little chefs!

Brothers.  Playing a 2-player game together on the computer.  As far as personalities go, they could not be more opposite!  But when they are on the same team - watch out!

A 2 hour wait to get the tires changed on my van.  A Mcdonalds next door with a playland makes it bearable.  Add a caramel frappe and free wi-fi and "I'm lovin' it!"

Braces!
I took this "before" picture of Caleb a few weeks ago before his orthodontist appointment.  We had already had his initial exam and I thought he was going to get his braces on that day.  Turns out he had several more appointments before his braces actually went on this week.  But I really, really love this picture of him.  I'm cherishing these last few weeks of him NOT being a official teenager - yet.

And here he is heading into the orthodontist office, hanging out in the chair before he knows how rough it's going to be, a milkshake for lunch, and then back to school.
